A Party Cruise in Nashville, TN That Brings the Energy

While "rollin' on the river," you'll enjoy stunning views, a delicious meal freshly prepared by our chefs, and toe-tapping entertainment in our two-story Victorian Theater.

One of the largest showboats ever built, the General Jackson is an elegant triumph of American ingenuity. With its elegant filigree and stately design, the boat is reminiscent of the opulence of the American Victorian era.

Showboats have long been a colorful part of our nation's history, and this most unique Nashville attraction epitomizes the grace and grandeur of the South.

For more information and the history of the General Jackson, please see below!

The General Jackson was launched into the Ohio River in Indiana on April 20, 1985, when the boat began its journey home to the Cumberland River in Nashville, TN.

Jeffboat Inc. in Jeffersonville, Indiana built the General Jackson Showboat.

The General Jackson's official birthday is July 2, 1985, marking the date that the boat was christened by Mrs. Thelma Gaylord.
